To overcome the challenge of keeping students engaged in ELA lessons, XTRA Weekly—powered by Exploros—uses interactive activities to give each student a voice. Watch this demonstration video of how a teacher can use XTRA Weekly to get students more involved in a critical reading lesson based on articles from Pulitzer Prize-winning newspapers.
In this example using a current article about “Sharks Along Nantucket”, you’ll learn about features of a lesson including the Instructor Overview, a Warm-up Activity, the newspaper article, and the ability to translate an article to many languages. The benefits to a teacher include enhanced dialogue, active and engaged students, crowd sourcing the research on a topic, social interaction, and flexibility for ELL students.
